Oops, my fault. I exclude all .c files in the distribution, but I
should make an exception for xxmodule.c (and for the .c file in the
embedding demo).

And this is casued by the new distribution process, which moves
PythonCore to the extensions folder under the name PythonCore
<version>. Just: do you think there's an easy fix for this, or should
I just put a note in the readme file?

I've seen this too, but not had the time to look into it. It could be
a problem with modulator (I'll check that by trying it on unix), with
Tk or with the Python/Sioux and Tk eventloop interacting. I'll put it
on the todo list, but it isn't high-priority.
